1985 CORVETTE Z51 PERFORMANCE PACKAGE - RESTORED.NO ACCIDENTS.OVER $16K INVESTED

1985 Chevrolet Corvette Description

I'm selling my fully restored and ULTRA CLEAN Z51 1985 Corvette C4 with 7 speeds (4+3 Overdrive Doug Nash Transmission - 1987) manual transmission. I'm the second owner of this car. The odometer read 162,685 miles when I found her and has only been driven 1,091 miles after the engine rebuild and restoration. This car started as a "barn find". The car had been in garage storage and not driven for over 22 years when I found it and decided to restore it. All of the fiberglass panels were in tact and no cracks but it needed to be completely restored. Like all restoration projects I underestimated and overspent, so you benefit. The project took over a year and a half (1.5 years). The entire car is practically new with new paint and well over $16k in parts and labor. I built this car with the intention to keep it but I'm selling because I now need to finance a new project.
The 350 SBC 5.7L V8 TBI engine was rebuilt from the ground up with new seals, bearings, etc. During the restoration process I kept the integrity of the car with improvements to performance. This includes an underdrive pulley kit and AIR pump delete along with porting the intake plenum, and an Edlebrock High-flow intake manifold for improving airflow from the air box. The A.C. is not installed but I will include all of the new components that just need to be installed (condenser, new evaporator canister, new blower motor and hoses.) I will also include all documentation (original purchase documents and all maintenance work from first owner), receipts (for part warranties) and photos of the restoration process. Finally, I will include the original Corvette saw blade wheels that came with the car. This will be one of the nicest and cleanest 30-year-old Corvette's you'll find. This car handle's like on rails and with an open exhaust has a great sound and fast pick-up. Many more extras to list.
I have the Title in Hand. many more pictures available as well as almost all original boxes for replaced parts.
